BLESS Tested: 5 Surprising Neighbor-Love Ways (vs 10 Self-Help Tricks) We've all seen self-help guides promise world-changing results with a few quick fixes. BLESS flips the script, offering five actionable, neighbor-focused strategies that feel refreshingly grounded. Unlike the usual "tricks" that keep us scrolling, this book anchors us in meaningful, human-driven change. From simple acts like offering a listening ear to intentional community projects, each method is designed to spark connection rather than isolation. We were surprised by how practical the ideas are-no grand gestures, just everyday moments that ripple outward. The contrast between neighbor love and self-centered goals is clear, yet the book doesn't dismiss personal growth; instead, it reminds us that our greatest impact often begins with those nearby. While the ten self-help tricks we tested felt fleeting, BLESS lingers, urging us to build bridges instead of walls. It's a gentle but powerful nudge toward collective betterment, worth reading for anyone ready to shift their focus from "me" to "us."
